Montenegro's public procurement process is under scrutiny after it was revealed that over 715 million euros in contracts were awarded in the first half of the year, with 42% of these deals having only a single bidder. This raises questions about competition and transparency in the awarding of government contracts across 4,793 agreements.
In other domestic news, the Centre for Civic Education (CGO) has expressed concern that Prime Minister Milojko Spajić has not condemned the glorification of Ratko Mladić, a recurring issue in the country. Separately, political figure Nič has voiced confusion over the continued absence of a Montenegrin ambassador in Berlin, despite ongoing discussions regarding the nation's EU accession chapters. This comes as Tomislav Sokol, a Member of the European Parliament, emphasized that Montenegro must fulfill six additional Croatian demands without shortcuts to advance its European path, with President Jakov Milatović's cabinet asserting a unique opportunity to realize the country's European future.
Meanwhile, businessman Veselin Barović was heard in the Higher Court in Podgorica as part of the probe into the 2005 privatization of Crnogorski Telekom, with his lawyer stating there is a lack of evidence linking him to bribery. The municipality of Bar has introduced a new support measure, providing 100 Euros for medications to 237 low-income pensioners. The implementation of fuel marking has also been postponed, pending further expert checks.
